As per previous outbreaks of Covid-19, the Government is reinstating funding Initiatives to help both businesses and their employees. The below table contains a summary of the currently available COVID-19 support initiatives. All the initiatives contain eligibility requirements that would have been met by most small and medium sized businesses from the first week of the of the level 4 lockdown.
| Covid-19 Support Initiative | Alert Level 1 | Alert Level 2 | Alert Level 3 | Alert Level 4 |
| Wage Subsidy Scheme | Yes | Yes | ||
| Resurgence Support Payment | Yes | Yes | Yes | |
| Leave Support Scheme | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Short-Term Absence Payments | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Small Business Cashflow (Loan) Scheme) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Business Debt Hibernation | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
While all Business Owners are experts in their own fields they are not, for one reason or another, all experts in the administration required to be able to complete Covid-19 support initiative claims.
For those Business Owners who require help to find their way through the red tap to making a claim, Into The Blue NZ Limited is here to help.
While our rates are normally $200 + GST per hour, we are offering a special capped rate of $100 + GST to help you complete each claim. If you are organised, or have very few employees including yourself as the Owner, each claim should not take more than 15 minutes – $50 + GST to complete. But if administration is not your strong point, then, as mentioned above, the maximum fee to complete your claim will be only $100 + GST.
I would also suggest for those Business Owners who are not registered with Regional Business Partnership Network (RBP) that they register using this link https://web.
